Everything New is Well Forgotten Old: Futuristic Building made in 60s Leaves Speechless
A whole ecosystem around one building.
Modern art sometimes really looks extraordinary. But won’t it be a surprise to know that the futuristic building, made out of some hundred cubes and even strange to our times, was built in the 60s.
Moshe Safdie, an architect from Canada, designed this unusual building prior to the beginning of the “Expo 67” in Montreal.
Visually it looks like 354 cubes gorged on each other. Totally, 158 living quarters are encountered in the building. As Moshe confesses, the project was meant to resolve the issue of lack of housing and the same type of buildings. The final results are just astonishing. The man could create a whole ecosystem. One can reach the upper floor apartments through the range of walking streets and three vertical elevators.
